ACCESSING THE SMALL BUSINESS DEDUCTION IN YOUR BUSINESS

I was referred to Sam Faris by a family member who highly recommended him to deal with my CRA audit matter which has been ongoing for almost 2 years. Considering that this was a sensitive issue, I needed to make sure that Sam would be the right fit to handle my case. I requested an in-person meeting. I met with Sam for more than 2 hours. He went through CRA proposal letter and immediately identified the weaknesses in CRA’s calculations. He immediately advised on the best approach to dispute this proposal and provided a time line when he will submit the counter analysis. I was impressed with his confidence and his expertise and decided to retain his services. He worked on my file around the clock to ensure meeting the deadline. At the end, Sam was able to reduce the tax bill and I was able to pay it with no hesitation. While Sam was working on the file, he was in a full control with the situation by communicating with the auditor on timely and professional manners. I never felt that I was left in the dark as Sam was always providing me with an update. I do recommend to hire Sam for any dispute with the CRA. Thanks

Sam helped me during a tax audit with the CRA. His performance was beyond expectation and I am very satisfied with the end results. Sam has demonstrated a high business and ethics standards and more importantly, he met all his promises. Well deserved excellent rating.
Response from the owner:Thank you Mr. Zahir for your positive feedback.
Very glad I contacted Sam and his team for help with my tax situation. I had worked with other accountants in the past but none of them were as knowledgeable and easy to work with as the Faris CPA team. They were able to help me resolve my situation and better prepare for the future.

Update - it’s been a few years now and can confirm that working with Sam as my tax consultant was an excellent choice and highly recommend him!
